SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1940 CITTLE SPITFIRE By Jean YESTERDAY: Abner tells Brenda the reason he so ditterly opposes Alaine’s Ned. “YVHAT shall I do about it ell?” Brenda asked Hugh Saltus. “Must you do anything? Better not, little Brenda. Trying to help other people gets you into the devil of a mess sometimes. I knew @ man once,” he went on deliber- ately, “who tried to do something to help another person-—some- thing that cost him quite a bit of time and trouble, to say nothing of money—and the reward he got for it he to. oa eines oe and respect of the—the on! T= son he cared a single ‘4 me in this rotten old world!” Brenda’s hands grip other tightly in her lap. Was Hugh telling his own story? Surely he wouldn’t put so mueh emphasis, had to do with another! She hoped with al] her heart he would go on, but he merely laid aside his pencil and flung himself down in a chair, both hands clasped wearily behind his head. “But I'm already in it,” she| be) ventured presently. “That is, ve told Alaine I'd talk to her about Ned, and Ned that I'd do'my best for him with Alaine. i can’t just shi the whole thing off my shoulders like this, Hugh!” “Then talk to Mac about it,” he advised. “You say Mac saw the— the incriminating deed. Also Mac’s got sense. Lots of it, little Brenda. Sometimes you don’t realize that, do you?” Here she was on firm ground. “Now let me tell you something, Hugh! I know that in our best fic- tion—our worst, too, if it comes to that!—the hero and heroine of a romance always start out by being bitter enemies. Mac and I made a swell beginning along those lines. But this story’s not going to be like that,” she in- formed him sternly. “In the first place, Isobel Burke's simply mad about him—and don’t think he doesn’t know it! Wedding bells are going to ring on The Shortest Street within the year, but the name of the bride isn’t going to be Brenda Burnham!” “And in the second place he suggested. “In the second place, Mac’s antagonism to me—or mine to him —is the real thing. There’s no underlying feeling of romance, or attraction—anything like that. I just plain don’t like him and I more than suspect that he’d enjo; his happy home—or Adelaide's happy home—a lot more if I sud- denly packed my trunk and de- parted for parts unknown.” “Methinks the damse! ——” “I shall throw something if you say ‘doth protest too much!” “The second pillow to your right the green one—is the best for throwing purposes!”* the artist said. M4u2 VAN NESS telephoned to ask Brenda for luncheon. “But you simply mustn’t: re- fuse,” she protested. “Doctor’— she jawasiably ve her father his professional title—“is so eager to talk over old times with you. We won’t keep you long. It’s only a step, you know, across the lawns. At one, then. Now don’t disappoint us! “I suppose 1 must go?” Brenda | demanded gloomily of her land- lady. “Oh, I think so, my dear! Maud’s very sensitive. No one knows just ‘what does hurt her feelings some- times. You won't have to stay long —I hope,” she added. “T shall be home by two-thirty,” was Brenda's affirmed determina- tion. But as it turned out it was almost four when she wearily crossed the lawns and ascended the stairs to her own room. It had been a tr; ring social experience, if one could call anything so dismal by that festive name. To begin with Dr, VanNess was absent. His daughter made excuse and apology for him, but Brenda suspected that from the beginning she had known he could not be there. The meal itself was so bearty as almost to constitute a q@uaner: soup, roast, salad, dessert, coffee. Brenda felt positively te-pid as they left the table, but Miss VanNess seemed stimulated pie enormous quantities of food nat Keeps her from a etti ff.” Brenda wondered. etShee bony as a bed-slat and yet if she eats like this every day —~” She gave it up with a sigh. There were ‘A Real Chat’ d_each |£ 9s ee Randal] “Now,” said Maud coyly, “we can talk! P've been longing for a real chat with you,” Brenda eyed her severely. VanNess would never see again. She had smal] eyes of indeterminate color, ‘air slithered and slipped about a too small for it, a. chin ceded until-it was almost at all. “I want so much to advice,” went on the lead such a secluded life The Street mg Sy . My dear, suppose you've sea posals?” She pronounced the with such a mixture of solemnity and relish that Brenda had hard work to bite back a smile. “Not—scads exactly.” “But some? A few? Even one?” She leaned forward i re “Yes,” the girl admitted. “A,.. lew. “Then, dearie, you're the one to advise me.” Miss VanNess pea her hands together tightly. “You see. living on this street is almost like being on an island. We—at least. the womenfolks—see few other people than our nei, bors. And until you came been the only young woman ——” “There’s Alaine Abernathy,” Brenda reminded her, “And He it i 8 di bal WB “Alaine is a child. She knows nothing of romance. Isobel—poor Isobel, I fear, will never stir men’s hearts. She’s too homely.” Brenda said with spirit: “2 don’t think she’s homely at all! Her skin is loyely, and her mouth ——” Maud VanNess waved Isobel away impatiently. “I asked her once if she’d ever had a proposal and she said no. So that rules her out. Please, Brenda, let’s don’t waste time. The doctor may return earlier than—earlier than usual. I want to consult you, I must consult you!” ‘A Little Shy’ “WES?” Brenda was beginning .» to feel a little bored. She con- sidered she had done her full duty by remaining here for lunch, She wanted to get home and to work on her book. But oped this unattractive woman had some- thing which weighed heavily on her mind; something about which she erroneously believed her er could advise her. Maud began to pleat her hand- kerchief. It was an of pi chiffon, about as unsuitable to 3 September afternoon as could be imagined. “It’s about Judge See’ she began in a low voice. le—he’s | been in love with me for years, eeThe pit] could train e girl co) not rest start of surprise, Dignified Judge with his Pe at and somewhat stiff gait, was the last man on The Street she would have connected with the passion. And to have fallen in love with Maud VanNess! Horri- fied, she heard her own voice ask- ing: Fare you sure?” Maud bridled. “Most certainly I'm sure! He’s—he’s done every- thing but tell me about it, I as- sure you. There have been times” —she sighed—“you will under- stand me, my dear, when I tell you that there have been times when his devotion has been posi- tively embarrassing.” “What did you wish to ask me, Miss VanNess?” “Say Maud, dear! We're friends already, don’t you feel it? Oh, I was go! to consult you, wasn’t I?” The big handkerchief began to move swiftly in her hands; swiftly and nervously. “It’s—it’s —how do you bring a man to the point of proposing, Brenda?” she shot at her guest suddenly. Brenda’s dimples came into view, she dropped her lashes to hide the laughter in her eyes. “But I thought you said his de- votion was ——” “It ist Oh, it is! Others besides myself have. noticed it! But the dear judge is a little shy. He can’t quite bring himself to the Point of asking me to marry him.” Brenda swallowed. Judge Har- r shy! This was farce of an un- lievable quality. “And will you accept him if he do ig himself to the point?” _ The handkerchief was now be- ing wrung like a dishcloth. (“It will never be fit to use again, thank gocdness!” Brenda mused.) “Oh, yes, dear, I think so. He’s so hes ‘cared i e's C me so long and faithfully. Even before hie wife died——” she began, then stopped, signigcant eyes on the girl’s facge, _ Some—some years. Twen eight or nine, I believe.

The Redlegs paid dearly for that event yesterday at Crosley Field, the scene of the May ist incident.
